Network Marketing Blogs – Connect You To Your Prospect
Social Networking is a very persuasive way to get your prospects to join your business. In fact it is one of the most powerful ways to convince someone you actually know what you are talking about.
Network marketing blogs are just the thing that will help you create the social proof you need to be the person of influence. There are a few hurdles that you need to get past first.
The 2 biggest are:
- Not spamming the social networks with garbage
- Not having enough traffic to create social proof
Network Marketing Blogs – Spamming Social Networks With Trash
Something I see all the time on sites like Facebook , Twitter and others is that new marketers feel that people are actually interested in their business opportunity in spite of the fact that nobody knows who they are.
So what does the new marketer who has no reputation start doing? You guessed it they start copy/pasting there marketing every hour on the hour hoping that someone is going to join their business.
What this ends up really doing is annoying everyone who accepted them as a “friend” <—If you where to try and market your offline friends every hour on the hour you wouldn’t have many friends left would you?
So you may be wondering how do you be seen as an authority in your niche without being an annoying spammer? This is where network marketing blogs really come into play. I will keep this basic and stick to 2 services Facebook and Twitter they are the two most popular social networks online.
If you don’t already know, you can connect your blog directly to your facebook and twitter account. What this means instead of spamming your affiliate link on your social network you are able to send people to your blog where they can learn more about you and what you do.
This is a far better way to create influence amongst your peers than to constantly send them to a sales page or lead capture page. There is a time and place for everything when you are working to build social proof it is not the time nor the place.
Network Marketing Blogs – Sharing Rocks! You Should Really Start Doing it
I am sure you have heard this before! “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done To You”.  While it is a good idea to tweet your blog post and share it on facebook, it is even a better idea to share and like other peoples network marketing blogs.
The reason? Because if you are nice and create a relationship with that blogger you stand a good chance of them returning the favor to you. It is by doing this that starts the process of you becoming Social Proof.
Network Marketing Blogs – One Last Note On Social Proof
While getting your own traffic organically over time will start creating social proof for you, it can take months and months to get where you need to be. The reason is because people have the “I don’t want to be first syndrome”. Another words people are looking to see if other people are interacting with your site before they start to.
When I started blogging there weren’t blogging tribes around, which made the process of social proof harder. Today though there are a bunch of tribes and social groups out there that can help you get the social element that will help take your blog and business to a new level. Network marketing blogs are cool and and here is a resource you can use for free to help you get more traffic TribePro.com.
My blog is brand new (less than two months and I’ve seen people with thousands of visitors by the time their blog is as old as mine. Mine is still less than 50 a day. Heck, less than 30, really.
Gaining positive social proof is difficult, but negative social proof sort of builds upon itself. And you start at 0, which is as negative as it gets.
There are some good ideas here, though. I’ve been utilizing some of them already, but there’s always room for improvement

Hi Delena, having a good group of people who help syndicate your content goes a long way to getting lots of people to come to your blog.
Non – Blogger types especially in the internet network marketing industry don’t understand how quickly they can start getting traffic to their landing pages via their blog.
Gaining good social proof is hard, it requires a person to really put out good content and present themselves as an authority on the subject matter.
There really isn’t a substitute for experience when it comes down to it. That is why it is very important to build good relationships with your readers, because it is your peers that will edify you the most.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
Hi Larry, nice touch with the Wiki definition pop up things, (I didn’t know what social proof meant).
On the subject of spam, I feel bad about it but I actually deleted a guy I know reasonably well from Twitter the other day because of the volume of his tweets, it was just too much and Twitter is slow (on my computer anyway).
I actually read every tweet because the people I follow don’t spam and they have something useful to say.
PLUS, they occasionally think I have something useful to say by replying, retweeting, DMing etc, and this is a big point.
Everyone likes to be acknowledged and I always feel pleased when someone replies, even if they disagree – that’s still an acknowledgement.
My advice (which is the same as yours) is to treat others as you’d like to be treated yourself. Admire someone elses’ blog and they (or their readers) might stop by and leave a quality comment on your blog.
I don’t think there are many people who don’t need other people – so appreciate them.
True, sometimes folks don’t stop to be thankful for the people in their lives.
MLM or network marketing I think is a really good, fast and legal way to earn a living – both offline and online. Too bad there are scams out there that smudge the good face of the industry. On the other hand, there are also those that are legit,
